Mustafa Khattab – Ramadan Gems 21

You wake up your brother in the middle

of the night to speak to them about

smoking,

he would just bash you in the face,

slap you, and we'll go back to sleep

because this is not the right time.

And I always tell brother the sisters

choose the time. The timing, most of the

time, his won't. The brother is coming from

work, he's tired, he had a fight with

his boss,

you know.

And

he opens the door, he's tired, he's devastated.

Oh, we wanna talk about something now.

When he gave us Naseem. I didn't talk

all the time, but when it was the

right time, he spoke. Otherwise, he didn't say

anything.

So,

hey, when choosing the right time, the right

place, Don't talk to people in front of

other people, talk to them in private and

honor them.

And choosing the right approach,

we said before, when you speak positively about

people,

they will listen to you. If you offend

them, they will they will close, you know,

they will shut you off. They will not

listen to you.

They say you say something positive to people

correct them in a nice way. This is

like a doctor cooperating with a patient.

Before you got the patient open,

they usually give them anesthesia so they knock

them off, they don't feel it in there.

So before you correct someone

or criticize them, say something nice first

then you numb them, they don't feel it

in there. Now, inject

your Nasiyah.

You know what? Your hijab is not proper,

you are going to Jahannan.

You know, you don't pray properly, you are

going to Jahannan.

Your son drops a glass on the floor

of Jahannan.

What is this then? So

and he was fast asleep with the family.

All of a sudden, he heard some movement

in the living room. What's going on? For

half an hour, it was movement.

He didn't have anything precious in the house.

Absolutely, he didn't have any furniture.

No iPhone. No iPad. No. Nothing. Nothing in

the house. No fridge. No laptop. Nothing.

So after half an hour, he came out

just to apologize

to the thief

that, sorry, we don't have anything to steal

in the house. You know, this is what

the story said. He came out to apologize.

He said, Wohla, we don't have anything from

the dunya to offer you. But would you

like to take something from Allah? He said,

what what do you have? He
